The Collegedale Parks and Recreation Department will host its first Community Spark event next Tuesday from 5-8 p.m. at the Collegedale Commons, 4750 Swinyar Dr. in Ooltewah.
This free, family-friendly event is a partnership with the Tri-Community Fire Department and other local businesses and organizations to share information about fire safety and Earth Day. The aim is to combine educational content with fun activities, encouraging the community to get the “spark” going by engaging in important conversations.
Collegedale Parks and Recreation Supervisor Christina Clark said, “I’ve had this idea of using fun, community-wide events to raise awareness about safety and encourage conversations among neighbors, helping everyone feel safe with our first responders and our neighbors.
“We will have local businesses and organizations set up booths with various activities, and there will be three food trucks available for food and treats.”
If your business or group would like to participate, contact the Collegedale Parks and Recreation Department via email at parksandrec@collegedaletn.gov or by phone at 423-468-1971.
